Summary
This pilot study tested a 6-month program combining group classes, personal coaching, and a low-carb diet to help people with early type 2 diabetes lose weight and possibly reverse their condition. It involved 35 overweight adults in low-income Memphis neighborhoods. The goal was to see if this approach could lead to diabetes remission, defined as normal blood sugar without medication.
